10pm: It wasn't easy getting a shot of Niagara Falls, first the darkness of the surroundings & the constant colour changes projected by the lights onto the water. Secondly the immense crowds of people there for a free firework show. It was a depressing place, ugly, rampant commercialisation of the very worst kind. You are even forced to walk through a horribly, tacky mall to get near the falls. I hated it so much. I am sure when the falls were discovered they were an amazing sight in their natural surroundings, now they are almost a secondary diversion to the casinos, Hortons, MacDonalds, Burger Kings & worse littered all around them & the tack vendors trying to sell glowsticks, beads, photographs etc etc. Horrible!
